Good Morning Beauties!
Congratulations - you did it! Take a moment to give yourself credit for your dedication to your 40 Day Journey. I know it took sacrifice and it was hard work…more importantly, God saw your devotion to drawing closer to Him.
Are you ready to dance in freedom on Life’s Journey? Knowing there will be more dark tunnels you must go through from time to time, are you still willing to dance, trusting God is with you? As you reflect on your journey, I ask that you take a look at your notes written down on Preparation Day 1. Did the process meet your expectations? Please reflect how they were met and how they were not met.
What were some surprises along your journey? Did you think it was going to go a certain way, and it went a totally different direction? How did God use these surprises to change a part or parts of your life?
Do you see your True Beauty now? Do you see His Love radiating out of every pore? He established your beauty so others may know Him. How does that Truth motivate you to engage with others?
Let’s take a look at Isaiah 61:1-3. Jesus provides our transformation so we will walk in newness of life, the life that He came to give us. With this new life, we will become ambassadors for Christ and the power of His Love. Our lives are a living, breathing testimony of the Goodness of God.
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
In closing, I would ask you to prayerfully consider sharing this ministry and website with women in your life who could benefit from a 40 Day Journey experience. We all face our own personal battles and need encouragement from each other. I would also love to hear from you and receive your feedback. Please go to the “Let’s Connect” section of the website and tell me about your experience or share anything you’d like.
Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank You for Your Love and Faithfulness to Your Daughters. Thank You for silencing destructive lies in our hearts that we’ve believed for too long. Thank You for replacing them with Your life-giving Truth. Jesus, Thank You for the Cross. Thank You for taking our sin and shame, and nailing them to the Cross for us so we can be reconciled to our Heavenly Father for eternity. Thank You for restoring our confidence in who we are as Women of God. We will not be defeated, but will rise up Victorious! We will take Your love to all we see and make Your Name know throughout the world. We love You! In Jesus Precious Name, Amen.
Here’s an amazing song of celebration that will have your heart singing and feet dancing.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
“Let me be clear, the Anointed One has set us free—not partially, but completely and wonderfully free! We must always cherish this truth and stubbornly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.”
